History[]
Cars[]
In Cars, Todd competes in the Dinoco 400 race at the the Motor Speedway of the South that was the final race of the season. During the race, he stayed around the 20th position until Chick Hicks caused a large accident between almost all of competitors. During the wreck, Todd hit Ernie Gearson before spinning out of control and bumping into Claude Scruggs, after that, the two found themselves roof-to-roof screaming at each other in fear. Though Todd suffered some physical damage, he was still able to race, and returned to the fray after a pit stop, finishing the race in the middle of the pack.
The World of Cars Online[]
In The World of Cars Online, Todd was one of the race opponents at the Tailgator Speedway, along with Lee Revkins and Johnny Blamer.
Cars: Fast as Lightning[]
In Cars: Fast as Lightning, Todd is the first unlockable, playable character, made available once both tutorial races have been completed as Lightning McQueen. Marcus comes to Radiator Springs to race against McQueen, who he cites as one of his idols.
Todd owns his own track called Todd's Track, where players can earn all of Chick Hicks' stickers by emerging victorious from races against Fillmore, Mater, Flo, and Chick Hicks. Todd's Pit is unlocked alongside him, which is where Marcus resides in the player's town.
Todd has two unlockable paint jobs, Rookie Green and Golden Champion, which can be unlocked by earning stickers in practices races at Todd's Track.
Cars 3[]
In Cars 3, Todd returns to compete in the 2016 Piston Cup season with Lightning McQueen, Bobby Swift, Cal Weathers, and Brick Yardley. However, due to Jackson Storm making an impressive entrance on the racetrack which caused sponsors to drop stock cars and replace them with Next-Generation race cars, Todd most likely retires and was replaced by a next-generation racer named Jonas Carvers.
Physical description[]
Todd is an Axxelo Fission and uses Lightyear tires. He has blue-silver eyes. In Cars 3, Todd is a Capitol Motors Mark II, the same model as Cal Weathers and the other returning Piston Cup racers from Cars.
In Cars, Todd is painted red, with a black spoiler and lining. He has the No Stall logo on his hood and fenders, along with the number "123" painted in white on his doors and roof.

Trivia[]
- Even though Todd and Lightning McQueen never interacted in the Cars movies, they are presented as friends in Cars: Fast as Lightning and various comics.
- It's just that in the comic The Rookie he did not appear as a friend with Lightning McQueen, because McQueen was still a newcomer at the time and performed poorly on the track, so no sponsors were willing to sponsor him. He asked every sponsor to help him get one sponsor, but they all turned him down, so Todd seemed to despise Lightning McQueen, and it just so happened that his sponsor No Stall became the one he turned to for help getting sponsorship, He also declined when he asked if he could be their reserve driver for No Stall races.
- According to Cars: Fast as Lightning, Todd is a huge fan of Shu Todoroki.
- In Cars, Todd has black rims with a red trim, but in Cars: Fast as Lightning, he has silver rims with red trim.
- Todd, Lightning McQueen, Dirkson D'Agostino, Darren Leadfoot, Ralph Carlow, Ponchy Wipeout, Ernie Gearson, Floyd Mulvihill and Murray Clutchburn are the all racers to return from Cars, Except Lightning McQueen, Todd along with the other Returning racers, underwent some redesigns and was converted into the Capitol Motors Mark II.
